Dear Marco and the team,

Congratulations on the go-ahead from PAC.
This is a discovery-level science, and I look forward to the experiment.

Cheers,
Andrei

It seems very likely that the wells will be dug starting soon and staged in the next few years (the ideal would be 5 per years for the next 3 years).

I'll send a doodle around to find a convenient time
